Sakura22's Guide to Making Your Theme!

Some people might think that it's too much trouble to make a theme or they'll mess up, but don't ponder! After all "Never let the fearof striking out keep you from playing the game - Babe Ruth" It can be lots of fun!! First you have to know how to edit your theme! Go to your home and click [edit my profile]. Then on the right-hand side there should be a box titled "My Account" and second from the top should be a little paint brush with "Change My Theme". Now you can make your own or pick from a variety of others some talented people have made. If you want to make your own mark in those great themes. There should be a little box that says "Browse All Themes" and an arrow next to it. When you click on that at the bottom should be "Create A New Theme" Since everyone is different then I can't tell you how to exactly make "Your Perfect Theme" but I can give you some hints and tips! First pick a main color or theme you want to build around (example...musicnotes, navy blue, pink, bunnies,.....ect.)Then pick some other colors that go with the main idea. Try to make the font legible and the theme not too bland. You can add a little bold color also and not make it look too cheesy! Just sneak it in places where it goes with your main idea. Try to pick colors that blend together and with your main idea. All in all I can't make your theme for you but if you ever need any personal tips or help feel free to ask me! I'm always there to help.

Enjoy, ♥Sakura22♥

*I would like to thank fellow chess.com member Rael for helping me come up with this idea!

A guide to making your own theme is superfluous, considering there already exists an extremely simplified interface to do so. If we had to code them in HTML, I might display greater quantities of appreciation.

Yeah, after all those years and all those billions of books in black text with white pages, what was everybody thinking? Yellow text on a white background is so much harder to read! I'm so impressed at your creativity!

I've never bothered with a theme. This reflects both the fact that I'm acheingly boring and have zero creativity. Essentially, is this not what themes are all about, giving people a window into your soul :0)
